Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 돌리면 지금은 사라진 임페리얼 증류소의 1995년 원액이 맑은 황금빛을 잔 안에 드리운다. 코끝에 가져가면 버번 배럴에서 온 잘 익은 사과와 바닐라, 꿀의 향이 부드럽게 올라온다. 52.7도를 한 모금 머금으면 보리 단맛과 시트러스, 옅은 오크 스파이스가 혀를 감싼다. 폐쇄된 증류소의 23년 숙성이 지닌 깔끔한 균형을 삼킨 뒤에는 바닐라의 잔향이 끝에서 사라진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
this is more austere, grassier, less emphatically citrusy, more mineral and, above all, much grassier. The mint shines through again. After fifteen minutes: it became much more aromatic, this time with more medicinal notes, that is to say camphor again but also mercurochrome. Mint flavoured tea, more and more of that. With water: this is funny, it’s almost the same whisky as the ‘Idunn’ now
restaurant Palate
thicker, oilier (which is what the darker colour already suggested), with more vanilla and maple syrup on top if the citrusy profile. There are touches of newish oak, especially the menthol and ginger hint at that - but of course it’s no straight virgin oak. Say it’s rather ‘modern’. With water: same as on the nose, it’s almost the same whisky as the pervious one. Maybe a little more vanilla, maybe not
